New research finds that Canada's electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) has more than tripled in the last two decades, the equivalent of filling the CN tower 110 times and generating close to a million tons in 2020 alone.
Air pollution is a severe threat to public health worldwide. Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which consists of minute particles suspended in the air with a diameter of less than or equal to 2.5 µm, is a major air pollutant connected to health hazards.
Researchers at Northwestern University (NU) have been working in collaboration with international partners to find ways to capture carbon and produce acetic acid out of carbon monoxide.
A recent WCS-led study that investigated 17 years of migratory bird nesting data in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, discovered that nest survival fell considerably near high-use oil and gas infrastructure, as well as the noise, dust, traffic, air pollution, and other disturbances associated with it.
Recent research published in PeerJ Life and Environment by Rebecca Helm et al. at Georgetown University illustrates why it is essential that assessment methods and examination of ecosystem effects of novel high seas activities account for ambiguity, using The Ocean Cleanup (TOC) as a model.
UC Riverside researchers have recently utilized a novel detection technique to uncover an alarming volume of methane emissions from wildfires, a potent greenhouse gas.
The University of Cordoba has created a biodegradable material made with nanocellulose and photocatalytic particles to effectively decontaminate urban air.
A remarkable number of coastal marine invertebrate species have invaded the high seas, where they can now thrive and breed, significantly adding to the floating community composition.
Microplastics (MPs), plastic debris smaller than 5 mm, implicitly destroy the environment. Traditionally, they have been collected and removed from water by filtering through meshes, which is ineffective.
Finding ways to produce clean energy and sources that generate green electricity tend to be complex, long-winded, and generally not as easy as simply pulling energy out of thin air. Yet, a group of researchers in Australia has demonstrated just that after discovering an enzyme that can quite literally convert air into energy.
